We all know that MS is a misunderstood disease that shows up differently for each of us. Each week an episode will be released that'll share the highs and lows of this unpredictable disease. My hope is that these episodes will shed some light for those who are newly diagnosed and those of us who have been living with it for years. Each week we will chat with someone who has been effected by Multiple Sclerosis, whether that be someone who lives with it, a family member, spouse, nurse or friend.

Affirm. Affirmation Cards. A dose of daily inspiration for life with a chronic illness
Today on the MS Understood Podcast we chat with interviewer, teacher, writer and advocate Astrid Edwards. We talked about her chapter in the newly published Growing Up Disabled in Australia. She shares talks about trusting yourself when you know something just isn't right in your body, she offers suggestions about how we can make studying more comfortable for students living with chronic illnesses. Astrid shares her incredible list of MS related symptoms and how she now refuses to feel shame in relation to her MS. We had such a full chat where we covered so many topics. I'm absolutely sure there'll be something for everyone.
